I suggest we remove the -it as we run a single command and its output will print to the console.
adding the -it will increase chances of i/o errors when piping the stream to some toole like grep or less

What does this PR do? What is the motivation?
This PR updates the public control plane monitoring documentation with new instructions about an automatic way to do this using the Operator (on EKS and Openshift 4). This is largely based on our internal documentation which can be found here.
Currently, this PR frames this as a "Using the Operator" vs "Legacy" methods, but alternative framings are also welcome.
